The Radboud Center for Iron Disorders receives samples and referrals of patients from all over the world for diagnostic advice and analysis of iron disorders. We offer biochemical, genetic analysis of blood and DNA samples and MRI to assess iron overload in tissues. Our biochemical analysis for patient care includes both conventional as well as novel iron biomarkers among which is hepcidin-25 measurement by mass spectrometry. For standard translational research we offer hepcidin quantification by ELISA and measurement of Non-Transferrin Bound Iron (NTBI) and Labile Plasma Iron (LPI), and oxidative stress.
